The library was huge and made entirely of candy! The walls were chocolate, the floors were peppermint, and the shelves were made of twisted licorice. It smelled amazing, and I could see all sorts of sweet treats tucked among the books. But I wasn't there to snack—I was on a mission.

  As I ventured deeper into the library, I encountered more enemies, both dumb and smart, guarding the stacks.

  First, I came across a group of Bookworm Goblins. These goblins were different from the ones I'd fought earlier—they had little spectacles perched on their noses and were holding tiny scrolls.

  "Intruder alert!" one of them squeaked. "The library is under attack! To arms, my comrades!"

  I grinned and charged, my Dumb Aura already taking effect. The goblins blinked at me, confusion written all over their little faces. I swung a few Dumb Strikes their way, and they went down like dominos.

  "You have defeated 4 Bookworm Goblins," the voice confirmed. "Experience points gained."

  Next, I encountered a smarter foe—a Library Dragon. This dragon was larger than the philosopher dragon, with scales that shimmered like mother of pearl and eyes that held entire constellations of knowledge.

  "It guards the knowledge within these halls," it rumbled. "It will not let you pass without answering its riddles. Three riddles you must answer correctly, or you shall face its wrath."

  I rolled my eyes. "Fine, fine. Lay 'em on me, brainiac."

  The dragon regarded me solemnly. "Very well. First riddle: I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I?"

  I scratched my head, trying to look like I was thinking real hard. "Um... a phone?"

  The dragon blinked, clearly not expecting that answer. "A what? Very well, the second riddle: I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost every person. What am I?"

  I shrugged. "A pencil?"

  The dragon's eyes narrowed, but it could sense my dumbness overwhelming its intelligence, so it asked the third riddle slowly, with more effort than before: "I turn once, what is out will not get in. I turn again, what is in will not get out. What am I?" It almost sounded pained to ask this question.

  I grinned, feeling a surge of power. "A key?"

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  The dragon let out a roar of frustration and reared back, but it was too late. Its body began to wilt, and it collapsed to the ground, defeated.

  "You have defeated a Library Dragon," the voice said. "Experience points gained."

  I continued through the library, fighting off various creatures and solving ridiculously easy puzzles that were obviously designed for smarter people. I was on a roll, and nothing could stop me!

  Finally, I reached the heart of the library—the chamber where the Lost Tome of Stupidity was held. The room was circular, with shelves reaching up to a high, domed ceiling. In the center of the room, a pedestal held the tome, and surrounding it was a complex puzzle made of moving candy pieces.

  I stepped onto the puzzle, and the pieces began to move beneath my feet. I looked down, trying to make sense of the shifting patterns. "Um... okay. So, I just... walk around?"

  As I took a step, the pieces shifted again, and a deep rumble echoed through the chamber. I jumped back, nearly losing my balance. "Okay, maybe not."

  I took a deep breath and tried to focus. I reached out with my dumbness, letting it guide me. Slowly, I began to step on the candy pieces in a pattern that made no sense whatsoever—a pattern that was purely dumb.

  The puzzle rumbled and shifted beneath me, but this time, it seemed to be working in my favor. The pieces moved with my steps, creating a path towards the tome. I grinned, feeling a surge of pride. "Yeah, take that, smart people! This dumb girl's gonna get her stupid tome!"

  As I reached the pedestal, the puzzle fell away, leaving me standing on a solid candy platform. I picked up the tome, and it hummed with power in my hands. The cover was made of something that looked like chocolate, and the pages were filled with swirling, confusing text that made my eyes cross just looking at it.

  Just as I grabbed the tome, an alarm blared, and a deep, booming voice echoed through the chamber. "Intruder alert! The Lost Tome of Stupidity has been taken! All guards to the main chamber!"

  Great, just what I needed—a bunch of angry, smart guards mad that I'd stolen their dumb book. I hugged the tome to my chest and prepared to fight my way out.

  I was ready. With the tome in hand, I could feel my power growing. I was Amy, the Dumb Girl, and I was about to show these smarties what I was made of!
